As a cast member of “The West Wing,” Rob Lowe spent years in a make-believe White House, and he’ll take up residence again this fall as the star of “Killing Kennedy.” While “White House Down” director Roland Emmerich, who also destroyed 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in “Independence Day” and “2012,” just can’t seem to get his fill of reducing Washington, D.C. to rubble, Lowe sounds like he’ll pass.

“@RobLowe: I'm not really into a bubble gum romp about our White House being destroyed.” Thank you!! That's what I was thinking!!!
